You need to either criticize or defend the philosopher's position. Do not do both. So, if you choose Kant, deductive argument that either criticizes or defends Kant's understanding of deontological ethics. If you choose Mill, deductive argument that either criticizes or defends Mill's understanding of utilitarianism. See the video on Arguments for guidance on how to deductive argument. The most common mistake students make is to give a list of reasons why they think the philosopher is correct or incorrect. A list of reasons is not a deductive argument. Again, watch the video on Arguments for guidance. This part of the essay should fill the second half of the essay.
